Daysprout: Crank for the Competitive Edge

The birth of trout area fishing traces its roots back to Japan, where even stocked trout fishing has been elevated and transformed into an extremely technical discipline, primarily focused on competitions thanks to the widespread availability of potential competition venues.

Fishing for stocked trout that have been repeatedly "caught and released" is far from trivial and requires knowledge and intuition for lure selection, combined with the precise and continuous refinement of retrieval techniques.

Among bizarre and innovative types of hardbaits, shapes and weights of spoons, combinations of colors and shades of all kinds, one could talk for hours about how, when, and how to choose and use them. To begin to unravel this complicated tangle, this topic will be dedicated to an introductory overview of the cranks designed and manufactured by Daysprout, a leading Japanese company in the field of trout fishing. Plus Fishing is proud to partner with Daysprout to bring these exceptional lures to anglers."


Daysprout Chattecra

The Chattecra DF F is a crankbait with a substantial body size and weight, making it capable of long casts. It can effectively probe deep water layers to stimulate wary trout with stop-and-go retrieve. It is ideal for large ponds or when targeting larger trout.


Daysprout Pico Chattecra

  • The Pico Chattecra DR-SSS is a crankbait well-suited for the initial search phase after putting away the spoon. It's ideal for probing medium water layers, as its very slow sinking action allows you to choose at what depth to start the retrieve and target a specific layer. Even at very slow retrieves, it maintains an ideal movement. Alternatively, you can retrieve it with five slow turns of the handle followed by one very fast turn, adding a burst that can trigger a trout to strike.
  • Unlike the SSS version, the Pico Chattecra DR-SS allows us to probe deeper layers, reaching the bottom quickly. The swimming action develops a not very eccentric wobbling that can make the difference on less active trout. One of the most functional cranks we find on competition fields.


Daysprout Eagle Player

  • Eagle Player MR is a crankbait to choose when you need to probe mid-water layers. It has a very pronounced wobbling action, to be exploited when you realize that you need to stimulate the reaction of trout. It works very well with fairly sustained retrieves, moving a lot of water and emitting many vibrations.
  • Eagle Player DR descends rapidly as soon as you start the retrieve and allows you to probe the deepest water layers. Very functional with a stop&go retrieve that can stimulate the attack right on the pause or shortly before starting to retrieve again.

Daysprout Upperrev

The Upperrev SSS is a very compact crankbait with excellent casting distance. It finds its best use within the first meter of depth. When cast and retrieved immediately with a high rod tip, its accentuated and very fast wobbling action can be exploited to stimulate frenzied feeding.
